University Foundation

Visitors

The Southeast Missouri University Foundation has announced a $40 million comprehensive campaign, the most ambitious fund-raising effort in the University’s history, to directly support current and future students.

The campaign, named “Honoring Tradition, Inspiring Success,” is focused on increasing scholarships and supporting programs and renovations that benefit students.

Veterans' Financial Options

In support of our veterans, Southeast Missouri State University implemented the Missouri
Returning Heroes Education Act effective Fall 2008. This Act provides for discounted
tuition for eligible veterans attending a Missouri public post-secondary institution.

Eligibility

Veterans who meet the following criteria, and complete the Application for Reduced
Tuition, will be considered for the discounted tuition rate established by the Act.

Served in armed combat after September 11, 2011

Were Missouri residents when first entering the military

Were honorably discharged

Are pursuing a certificate, associate or baccalaureate degree

Value

The Office of Student Financial Services will determine if you meet the criteria to
be considered for discounted tuition and the amount that your tuition will be reduced,
if applicable.

How to Apply

Renewal

Continued eligibility will require that the veteran achieve a 2.5 cumulative GPA by
the end of the first semester (and all subsequent periods) of eligibility* when the
institution checks satisfactory progress in order to meet renewal criteria.

*Note: There should be no grade point requirement for a veteran the first time they
receive the tuition reduction even if they have previously attended an institution
of higher education.

Students who do neet meet renewal criteria may regain eligibility of the discounted
tuition rate once their cumulative GPA has increased to the minimum requirement (2.5),
or better. A new Application for Reduced Tuition must be submitted to Student Financial Services for reinstatement.

Vietnam Veteran's Survivor Grants are available to children and spouses of Vietnam
Veterans who death was attributed to, or caused by, exposure to toxic chemicals during
the Vietnam conflict. To be eligible, you must be a Missouri resident enrolled full
time. The maximum award is the full value of your tuition and general fees. A separate application from MDHE is required as well as qualifying medical certification from a Department of Veterans
Affairs medical authority.

Wartime Veteran's Survivors Grants are available to children and spouses of Veterans
whose deaths or injuries occurred since September 11, 2011 and:

were a result of combat action, or

were attributed to an illness that was contracted while serving in combat action,
or

resulted in 80% disability as a result of injuries or accidents sustained in combat
action.

The veteran must have been a Missouri resident when first entering military services
or at the time of death or injury. The Missouri Veteran's Commission determines whether
the veteran meets the program's requirements.
